During WWII due to rationing, American manufacturers could not build new pianos. Even so, there was still a high demand for the instruments. Many re-builders/tuners took old uprights and simply chopped off part of the top creating a step and attaching a mirror to make them look "new" and updated. The practice continued for the next 20-30 years.
